ESA backed project maps 600,000 urban trees across European capitals

BRNO, Czech Republic - Feb. 6, 2026 - PRLog -- The Czech company ASITIS has successfully completed the European Space Agency (ESA) project UpGreen, which provides cities with a new level of insight into the condition and distribution of urban greenery. In pilot studies in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Lisbon (Portugal), the team analysed 587,026 trees and demonstrated that combining satellite imagery, municipal data, and AI can assess each individual tree, including its stress level, productivity, long term survival capacity, carbon sequestration, and cooling effect.
Cities received clear map layers, reports, and visual outputs that support targeted maintenance, smarter planting, and better investment decisions. The methodology has already been tested in the Czech Republic, in the town of Kuřim.

Martin Vokřál, CEO of ASITIS, explains: "Cities need to manage greenery as strategically as transport or energy. UpGreen delivers detailed data at a fraction of the cost of traditional tree inventories."
